Why not read the HTML 4.0 spec? It says: 9.3.1 Paragraphs: the P element <!ELEMENT P - O (%inline;)* -- paragraph --> <!ATTLIST P %attrs; -- %coreattrs, %i18n, %events -- > Start tag: required, End tag: optional So it's optional. I don't use them </P> myself as it is not recommended by many of the web designers here or in fact in any of the books I've read. I must say though that the css stuff is most excellent. - Craig -- Craig Small VK2XLZ, PGP: AD 8D D8 63 6E BF C3 C7 47 41 B1 A2 1F 46 EC 90 |@work: [EMAIL PROTECTED], @play: [EMAIL PROTECTED]| |@home: [EMAIL PROTECTED], @debian:[EMAIL PROTECTED]| |@web: http://www.triode.net.au/~csmall @irc:seeS @icw:5723597|
